Perhaps the easiest way to capture my feelings is this: Assault Android Cactus made me buy an extra controller. The thing that I love most about Assault Android Cactus, however, is the fact that I don’t have to be an android alone four-player couch co-op is available, which also means that I wasn’t just talking to myself with the constant remarks about how awesome the game is. Rather than restricting the use of the heavy weapons, Assault Android Cactus allows-and encourages-liberal use of both weapons, which creates a healthy level of chaotic destruction and contributes to a general sense of awe and achievement. Lasers, machine guns, and seeking bullets are a few of the basic weapon types rockets, mines, and electrified energy fields are some of the heavy weapons. I spent the largest chunk of my time playing as the absent-minded and off-kilter android Starch at the beginning of each new area, she clumsily crashes into the ground and then picks herself up, ready to take on hordes of enemies while shouting ‘Pineapple!’ and fairytale-themed insults.Įach of the androids-in addition to a unique personality-has a different load-out that dramatically changes their functionality.
Their oversized heads and metallic-twanged voices set a light-hearted tone that’s carried throughout the game and remains obvious through level entry animations and mid-fight quips when picking up power-ups.
Cutesy charm oozes throughout this twin-stick shooter, stemming mostly from the android characters themselves. One of the more applicable adjectives for Assault Android Cactus is ‘adorable’. Finding a game that compels me to be audible in a way that is not cursing it or its players (looking at you, CS:GO) is a rare experience Assault Android Cactus manages to achieve this. This largely captures my experience with the game-electrifying action punctuated by loud cheers and groans as the success of my colourful rampage ebbed and flowed. A review of Assault Android Cactus could conceivably comprise only a list of superlatives arranged in a haphazard and ever-changing formation, set to a thumping, exhilarating techno beat.
